The Ninth Night - Next concert was in the Church of St.Simon and Juda, Prague

You can see the piano very far away!

Rehearsal was just 2 hours before the concert so when we arrived there, it was already very dark outside. When Honoka and I were looking for the entrance, clever Arisa quickly took
these photos. Can you feel the quietness of this street covered with the snow?

Outside of the church, very quiet.

Inside the church, we again climbed many steps to the greenroom. Programme for tonight is Shostakovich No.1, Takemitsu Between tides and Beethoven “Archduke”.

Pipe Organ. We have been walking along this balcony.

Honoka found out later in the internet(!) that Haydn and Mozart have played the pipe organ in this church!! We have been walking many times along the organ to get to the platform, so if we were very lucky, we might have walked on the same floor!!

We found our names!
